Need some opinions (ring game)

I've never done a banks ring game so I can't comment on that but you might spell out some more stuff in the 9b ring game.
- 5 dollar entry + a quarter bet per game? How's that work? So there's a minimum 20 dollar pot with 4 guys, and then the pot grows 1 buck with every game? It continues until you win it all, but what are you playing to? We always played it for points on the 3 6 9. I've also heard of 1-5-9. A typical race might be to 15 or 20 with handicap adjustments.
- If it's gonna say no slop you probably only need to mention that once. It's assumed there's no slop on the 9 if you already have no slop on all the other balls.
- No safeties also in effect in 9b?
- Early money balls spot?
- Scratches go in the kitchen, otherwise everything is played in position, with a pushout-type option for the incoming player if the guy he's following fouled?
- Money balls on the break do or do not count?
etc.

-$5 is each players' bankroll, table is free because it's at my house. So $.25 will be taken from each player per game.
-I will have to do points on the 3 6 9 or something, never thought of it. I was originally thinking about points for the 9 only, which would encourage more run outs. Probably 1 point each, race to 20 or 30.
-I repeat myself on calling myself because I know how the players around here are, and like little children, you have to spell it out pretty clearly.
-No safeties in either one, push outs will be allowed though.
-Early money balls are spotted if they didn't call the ball.
(got a lot of people around here that try to roll that money ball every chance they get just hoping for it to find a hole)
-scratches go in the kitchen, push outs will be allowed
-money ball on the break will count
Thanks for the input, looks like I need to do a few changes.
Never saw a ring game advertised before. I always found them fun and I think it's too bad amateurs don't get into them more... esp. those who maybe don't have fun in tournaments but want to play.
